Too bad it won't be a widely-produced model.

Well well well....I posted this rumor back in September and got hung on the cross. Great to see it's gonna be reality....gotta admit, a tiny car with a 510hp motor....THAT is tempting.

(Chest out) .....sweet redemption.

Nice as a 6.3l motor would be, why not use the MB metalurgy on a Chrysler 426 (7.1l) hemi, run it NA, with a 4" (100mm) exhaust?

That would be a muscle car!

Atta boy at Jakpro1, he called it.

hope AMG is going to do massive improvements on their suspension. although the AMG's may have a slight advantage in power, it's still a straight line performance car. if they were able to make a car as much fun to drive and that handled as well as BMW, then AMG would be on top. but i don't really see that happening.

I'm sure the sticker will be near 100k, especially if it won't be a mass-produced model.

Anyway, don't be surprised if it does go into mass production...MB has become a mass market s!ut.

Welcome to last year! Old news. The writing was on the wall over a year ago when news of the 6.3's return leaked out. Get read for 63 and likely, 69 versions of your favorite MB alphabet soup.

at least $100k considering each of the 65 AMG models have at least an added $60k sticker over the 55's.

i'd prefer the Dinan S3 E46 M3 for roughly $75k. the article i read on it compared it to the 911 turbo and 360 modena.

its funny how they call it the RS4 killer in the article. The C55 is already an RS4 killer, and an M3 killer. IF the C63 came out, i dont think anything will be able to match it.
